Does the main character have any dialogue at all? Or the woman, except to her husband?
shareThe woman has two lines. "I love you." and "Breakfast's ready." Other than that, the two protagonists don't say a word to one another.
"There's a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known."
I think the film should have left her dialogue at "I love you" alone. After so much silence the phrase "Breakfast's ready" felt bland and unnecessary.
shareI disagree with that....i think it indicated that was finally happy, so she spoke to her husband...so i think it was necessary
shareshe haven't spoken to her husband! she spoke to the guy standing behind her husband's back! it was so tricky, so genious, she understood, she could make her husband happy with her love which was in fact directed to the guy but in the way her husband couldn't guess anything.brilliant and tricky!
share"she haven't spoken to her husband! she spoke to the guy standing behind her husband's back!"
True
"...she could make her husband happy..."
Not so true: She could care about her (bastard!) husband's happiness! He did not even exist for all she cared (more then "the silent treatment" :)), her husband was "the ghost" in her world...
Excellent movie!
I watched this movie yesterday and I thought exactly the same! Only "I love you" would have been better, the breakfast thing kind of ruined the magic!
shareIt didn't bother me. To me it indicated how the rest of her life with them would be. She was contented and didn't have to be sullen and silent anymore. When speaking aloud, she would be fooling her husband.
shareI absolutely agree.
That was the only part I slightly disliked about the movie.
the way i see it, when Sun-hwa says "i love you" and "breakfast's ready", it's not meant for her husband, i'd say she's really saying it to Tae-suk, who's right behind her husband on each of those instances
shareI'm not sure if i remember this correctly, but when she said "i love you"...he wasn't behind her husband
i think she said it to lead him on or something
i believe he was
shareI think her lines go to both the husband and young fellow, since the lovers dont need to talk, she shouldnt say anything, but since they have to deal with the husband, the first meaning of the lines are to trick him, and then to be together, because the husband wouldnt understand its breakfast time so the only way her boyfriend can eat what she cooked, is to trick the husband.
shareI absolutely agree with you! She says those words as a trick in order to achieve convenience, so that the husband will not notice that the real "loved one" is at the back, finally confirming the woman's kind words. In this way, she finally will feel liberated from the abusive husband without actually suffering in the end (anyway, he's always out for meetings anyway) and finally being with the man that she feels kinship with, never mind that it's worthless.
This movie rocks!
Although if this movie will be released internationally, I suggest the change from 3-iron to Empty Houses. 3-iron doesn't make sense and makes the movie look like a postmodern art film that many people are most likely to get turned off.
He does not say anything we can hear. At the police station, we hear that they found out where the dead man is. And, that must mean that the main character has said something.
The woman says : "breakfast is ready" and : "i love you"
Well not exactly, they could have found the body another way. For example, the dirt would have been freshly dug. It wasn't far from the apartment building either.
